5.0 SAFETY
When using compressed air always use appropriate personal protective equipment.
All pressure containing parts, especially flexible hoses and their couplings, must be regularly inspected, be free from defects and be replaced according to the Manual instructions.
Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectlyhandled. Before doing any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from the system and that the machine cannot be started accidentally.
Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.
The safety valve located in the separator tank must be checked periodically for correct operation.
Whenever pressure is released through the pressure relief valve, it is due to excessive pressure in the system. The cause for the excessive pressure should be investigated immediately.

warning
AVOID INGESTION, SKIN CONTACT AND
INHALATION OF FUMES
For further information, request and consult the coolant Material Data Sheet (UK ACGP 011/96 −ULTRA COOLANT ACGP 029/90−food grade coolant. For USA served areas, use MSDS sheet APDD 236) from your local IR office, Distributor or Air Center.
Should compressor lubricant come into contact with the eyes, then irrigate with water for at least 5 minutes.
Should compressor lubricant come into contact with the skin, then wash off immediately.
Consult a physician if large amounts of compressor lubricant are ingested.
Consult a physician if compressor lubricant is inhaled.
Never give fluids or induce vomiting if the patient is unconscious or having convulsions.

Transport
When loading or transporting machines ensure that the specified lifting and tie down points are used.
It is recommended that the machine be moved using the fork lift slots in the machine base.
Refer to section
Electrical
The compressor has high and dangerous voltage in the motor starter and control box. All installations must be in accordance with recognized electrical codes. Before working on the electrical system, be sure to remove voltage from the system by using a manual disconnect switch. A circuit breaker or fuse safety switch must be provided in the electrical supply line leading to the compressor.
Those responsible for installation of this equipment must provide suitable grounds, maintenance clearance and lightning arrestors for all electrical components in accordance with National and Local code requirements.
Keep all parts of the body and any hand−held tools or other conductive objects, away from exposed live parts of the compressor electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand on insulating surfaces and do not contact any other portion of the compressor when making adjustments or repairs to exposed live parts of the compressor electrical system.
Close and lock all access doors when the compressor is left unattended.
Do not use extinguishers intended for Class A or Class B fires on electrical fires. Use only extinguishers suitable for class BC or class ABC fires.
Attempt repairs only in clean, dry, well lighted and ventilated areas.
Connect the compressor only to electrical systems that are compatible with its electrical characteristics and that are within it’s rated capacity.
